D series for new old stocks sounds too old, it starts with D right? A/N will have Alphabet in the middle.

Did I just got screwed over by them???
Surprisingly they still holding such old stock in their inventory.
Should do the homework before buying, i will try avoid buying because since they said best 5 years send for serving as the oil inside drying up. If really buy, i make sure can get a very good discount or else i go check out other AD.

The topic of How often should you service your Rolex is quite debatable.
The general rule is send for serving 5~7yrs but some said wait until the watch showing signs it needs servicing and some said if it ain't broken, don't fit it so it very much depending which camp you in.
Since you already bought the watch just enjoy it and don't think or worry too much.
Your watch is still under the 2 years warranty, maybe before the warranty period end you can send in to RSC for the serving or right now you can send it to RSC and check with them what to do since you bought such a old stock. Let RSC do a 'check up' or test on the watch and see what they say.

Its no problem, i run all my Rolexes for as long as it can take my beating.
The first one that gave way was my Submariner bought 15yrs ago.
And that watch took a hell lot of beating.
Otherwise, i believe 20yrs without servicing is no problem....hahahah...
Enjoy your Rolex

7~8yeras is quite long, even the watch is sitting doing nothing but after such a prolong period the lubrication inside will have reaction such as drying, crystallizing and rubber seals for the water resistance will degrading over time too.
Let say a watch able to run without problem for X years, the prolong period of idling definitely eating into it lifespan due to the drying and degrading.
The watch is sitting waiting there for many years but is not untouched for many years. They need to keep changing the price tag every year. Just check out what the selling price in 2006 and look at the 2013 price.
A good retailer with business ethics should let the customer know or give a better discount for such old stock. Just selling to unaware customer is uncalled for to me but this problem had been 'solved' with Rolex running AN series, in future buyer won't be able to tell when the watch produced.
